Lovely setting, lovely welcome, great service from friendly and attentive staff, dog friendly in the bar area and best Sunday roast! Every individual part of it was delicious! We will definitely recommend and definitely will be back soon 😋

My husband and I visited for a last minute roast without a booking at the busiest period of the day on a Sunday - we were warmly welcomed and seated at a cosy table, and waited on by the kindest, most enthusiastic staff. A delightful experience from start to finish, with scrumptious food. Looking forward to our next visit, thank you so much team for making our visit so lovely!

What a gem! Fabulous lively atmosphere in this bustling, warm, and well lit venue. Great welcome, super attentive landlord and staff with live music. For my first visit to any hostelry in the town, this was great. Excellent tapas and extensive collection of non alcoholic beers. Recommend all day long!

Visited on a Friday night in a group of 10. Fantastic welcome and quickly seated with drinks. The menu is great with loads of options so it was hard to choose. Onion bhaji scotch egg was popular and very good. Delicious food and a very good atmosphere but most of all the service and staff are brilliant. Always checking we had everything we needed and topping up drinks orders.

Just popped in as an afternoon meal and we could not of come back any more satisfied than we are!! Service was next to none a super friendly Gent dressed in a bright blue shirt could not of done more for us and what an upseller he is lol my partner originally ordered the rump cap at 22 pound but the chef had Wagu in and was going on the evening specials, he was offered to up grade and the wagu came in at 35 pound but OMG worth every penny melted in the mouth and cooked to perfection. I had the Chicken schnitzel with garlic butter and it was so tasty. 10/10 all round. Thank you for a great experience.

The Sunday Roast was delicious and very generous portions. When the staff check back on you, they offer you more yorkies and roast potatoes! The service was great! We were greeted immune by Eve, and she served us, got us drinks asap. Also, they're dog friendly. Highly recommend it for an amazing and chill Sunday.

We are big fans of the Peach Pubs group having previously eaten a few times at both The Town House and The One Elm, often on special occasions, as was this one. We did feel that The Star and Garter did not quite match up to their sister pubs in terms of the personal service. Although we had said it was a big birthday celebration, with our children gathering from across the country, there was no acknowledgement of that at all, even when cards and gifts were exchanged. Perhaps this was just because it was a busy Saturday, which also meant that food came a little slowly (even allowing for the fresh cooking). Having said that, the menu was interesting and varied, including options for the vegan guest, and the food chosen was very tasty and much enjoyed by all 6 of us. There was a real buzz about the place creating a good atmosphere and the staff were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

We had carrot and orange soup and Aubrey Allen lamb scotch egg with crispy kale for starters, plus Guinea Fowl for the main course. Although fairly pricey, the quality was so good that it was worth it. The service we received was absolutely outstanding too. Very highly recommended. Enjoyed it so much that we returned in January - the new menu included Chicken Schnitzel, Beef & Ale Pie, Pork Belly and Venison (from the Specials menu). All of the food was delicious and the service was - as last time - absolutely stellar :).

The food was average but very expensive

December 16, 2024

I booked the Star n Garter in leamington 2 weeks in advance online . Arrived at the said time . No table ready , waited 10 mins to be seated. They then proceeded to eject some people from a table and then dragged 3 tables and pushed them together to squeeze our group of 10 people in next to the main entrance/ exit. The tables were sticky. Ordered drinks and the waitress brought the wrong drinks plus 5 more drinks we didnt order to our table . I have no complaints on the starters. When we asked for mains , it took over an hour for the Christmas mains to arrive, which were Luke warm and far to small for a Christmas meal. Service was shoddy to say the least , cutlery was just dumped at the end of the table. To add insult to injury , they presented us with the wrong bill , trying to charge us for 22 people when infact there was only 10 people in our party. It then took 3 attempts to get the correct bill. This is an accurate account of the night.

Food was no where near the standard we expected after reading up on most recent reviews prior to our visit, admittedly it was after 3pm when we rocked up and maybe the cuts of beef and pork that we we served up were the dregs especially the pork which my partner had and was very fatty. The cabbage was well undercooked along with the root vegetables which were soggy and not roasted. Were not ones to complain as a rule but when youre paying out what we were charged then you do tend to walk away very dissatisfied. Staff were lovely though but I think the chef needs to up his game when it comes to Sunday roasts.

Ate here on a Thursday night with my wife and two friends. Starters, mains, plus £100 of wine plus extras drinks. Service compared to a few years ago was pretty lax. £50 bottles of wine opened and plonked on table; friendly service but felt like they had better things to do than make us feel special; food-wise, langoustines main looked great but everyone was really hungry still as it was a really small dish. Steak was well cooked and tasted great. Overall, the meal wasn t cheap and felt like it had moved to pub service with only ok food. Shame really.

This place is a fraud. A table today with at least 5 and at times 8 folk were largely ignored unless we hollered for attention or went to the bar to try to get noticed. Food was good but not 20 quid good. The food though is a sideshow to a venue that has zero interaction with its customers. Really disappointing.

We went for a Sunday lunch often eat out so have had lots of comparisons, the food was generally very good we had the scotch egg and makeral from the specials board as starters so not sure if they are always available my scotch egg was delicious would highly recommend really tasty a nice little kick of spice and the lovely runny egg was just as it should be ,we both had the trio if meats for main course also from the specials board the meat was well cooked we like our beef rare so it was slightly pink but very nice and tender there was also a slice of pork and gammon . The yorkshire puddings were very nice I think they were cooked in duck fat as were the roast potatoes. The one negative point I would like to make and I know they are not the only ones that do it but charging and extra 5.50 for a potion of cauliflower cheese is ridiculous if you wanted stuffing I think Im right in saying it was 3.50 extra those things should come as part of the roast and not as an extra its just money grabbing in my opinion . We also had a cheese board to share 13 pounds for it Said 5 different cheeses with some biscuits very nice the cheese was from Aubrey Allens but the amount you got was so small there were I think Im right in saying there were 8 biscuits 5 slithered of apple in my opinion grapes would be better as the edge of the apple was going brown and portion of chutney I cant fault the quality of the food but there are things that could be improved as Ive already mentioned. Parking: There is only street parking nearby if you wanted to make a night of it youd have to park in a carpark in town and walk up as you get maximum 2 hours free parking

Out for a pre-Mothers Day meal this evening for a treat. Sadly, ignored for the most part. Wasnt offered the specials board, had to ask for cutlery for our meal, plus condiments, drinks etc. No one asked if the meal was okay at any point. We were offered the deserts menu, but after 10 minutes of waiting to receive the desserts menu, decided get the bill and go. No apology and when we left no acknowledgement from the person running the restaurant until we went to speak to her to give our thoughts on a £40 per head meal for a main, plus olives and ciabatta. Sadly, will go back to the better places in Leamington whose staff take an interest in their customers. Even our teenagers commented on the lack of service, which if they take note says a lot!

We eat here last Saturday. We saw the great reviews and we were expecting great food and we was disappointed and had ok food but not great! I had the smoked haddock scotch egg which simple lacked flavour, then a dressed crab with skinny chips. The dressed crab tasted amazing but the chips were under cooked. When we spoke to the lovely waitress she explained they had just changed supplier.. My husband had a beautiful steak. He asked for medium rare but it came out rare to blue. We didn t send it back as he likes it cooked both ways. My son had the beef & ale pie. It was full of meat but the pastry was over cooked and burnt.

Perfect Sunday roast here today! The service was impeccable. Great meat and veggie option - food was delicious! Love that you get a jug of gravy and extra yorkies/spuds. The wine and the apple crumble were also exceptional.

Lovely pub for a sunday roast. My family really enjoyed the Lamb pavé. The stuffing was delicious. Extra point for the possibility to have more Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes! Very nice touch. I was a bit disappointed with the shallots tatin , the pastry could have been more cooked/crispy. The truffle and macaroni cheese was delicious but such a small portion. Overall, a good meal. I will be back to try more on the menu

After a big gap I went here again last Friday for dinner with friends. The pub was really busy but the dining room was nice and quiet (at 5pm) and started to fill up later. Before I get to the food, the staff were super friendly, helpful and patient while we were there, and didnt forget about us even when they started getting busy. I had the bavette steak, cooked perfectly and super tasty with the French fries and butter. Only improvement could have been a bigger cut as the four slices didnt last long

We attended this Sunday to celebrate Thanksgiving, which we would ordinarily do at our mum s house in London. However this year we couldn t owing to the terminal cancer diagnosis of my sister. I approached the Star and Garter at my sister s behest ( they serve the best roasts) with a very large booking that we very possibly would have to cancel last minute and they took this in their stride, buying our puddings for us and a bottle of bubbly to enjoy on them. At an awful time, their kindness, flexibility and generosity was so keenly felt by our family and the food and service and staff were just incredibl. I would like too to mention Elle and Sian (hope I ve spelled the names correctly), who stood out and welcomed this complicated booking with so much warmth and kindness, that will never be forgotten. Thank you for making a wonderful afternoon full of wonderful food and joy.

We were in Leamington Spa as a group of 8 for a trade fair. We went to this pub three evenings in a row and loved it. The food is varied (large daily menu) and very tasty. All 8 dishes were at the table at the same time and quickly. The staff is very attentive and friendly.

A group of 8 of used this pub. Was picked for our first night(Friday evening). Was pleasedly in prest with the food and the service. The staff could not have been more helpful. As six of the group were from Germany. On enquiring about booking for the following night. They could not be more help full as we could not be shaw what time we could get there. Again for our last night in Lemington could not be more helpful. The grating we got every night and there helpfulness was over the top. When in the area again will definitely head for here.

A rather clique environment, food and drinks are expensive compared to other local establishments. Usually very busy at weekend lunchtimes, 4 ales available, an outside seating area at the front of the building forces passing pedestrians into the layby, only protected by red chapter 8 barriers from passing traffic.

We celebrated my husbands 50th birthday party at the Star and Garter and couldnt have been happier. They set up a long table for us in the back of the restaurant to fit our group of 20. There was plenty of space, the food was great and everyone had a fabulous time. Special shout out to the fantastic team who looked after us so well. They were professional, courteous and attentive throughout the whole evening. Id definitely recommend this place for special occasions.

Went for works Christmas do! Food a bit thrown on the plate and rustic...especially main...just a big chunk of pork on mash with gravy poured over...lacking finesse... but wouldnt judge them on such a massively busy evening...we were upstairs...and full downstairs too. No idea how the kitchen kept up with so many covers at once!! Stairs up to room upstairs shabby...carpet in need of cleaning...would be a nice venue in summer on balcony upstairs. Will return with voucher on a less busy evening to judge properly.
